Join members of Waitiki 7 and Hi-C Jazz at Ossipoff Cabin for a thoughtfully designed chamber-jazz experience; intimate and meant for close listening. This bespoke program traces a line from midcentury Asia-Pacific sounds to their modern descendants, weaving exotica, bossa nova, and swing into a refined, improvisatory conversation. Enter into a sound world that feels both nostalgic and freshly composed.
Hosted high on the southern ridge of the Waiʻanae mountains in an inspiring space oriented to the environment, this collaboration invites guests to linger, listen, and rediscover cocktail jazz crafted for the Pālehua environment.The 3-hour experience includes an hour of guided travel up and down the mountain, a 30-minute performance, and time to mingle with the musicians and enjoy the mountain setting. Light bites will be provided.

Performers: Helen Liu (violin), Mika Mimura (vibraphone), Karen Lagrimas (voice), Abe Lagrimas Jr. (ʻukulele, drums), and Randy Wong (bass) are respected members of Hawaiʻi’s musical community and are known throughout the state. At Pālehua, they will perform in a “chamber jazz” setting, melding elements of classical chamber music with jazz and Exotica. Between them, these five extraordinary musicians have performed at many of Hawaiʻi’s most prestigious venues. Their projects have garnered nominations and awards in the Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards and have been chronicled national magazines and radio. Abe & Randy perform every Tuesday at Green Lady Cocktail Room. Together with Helen and four other virtuoso musicians, their Exotica group The Waitiki 7 will be closing the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra’s HapaSymphony season on Friday, June 5, 2026.
Ossipoff Cabin was built in the mid 1950s by Vladimir Ossipoff and restored in 2020 by the Gill ʻohana. The cabinʻs Japanese-inspired style, careful use of local materials, and breathtaking view make for an inspiring setting.
Proceeds from tours benefit Pālehua Conservation Initiative, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to advance education and stewardship efforts that protect, promote, and restore the natural, cultural and community resources of the southern Wai‘anae mountains.
